Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit einem Maschinenständer und einer daran verschwenkbar angeordneten Maschinentür, wobei zwischen der Maschinentür und dem Maschinenständer eine Zugfeder angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a dishwasher with a machine stand and a machine door arranged pivotably thereon, wherein a tension spring is arranged between the machine door and the machine stand.
Geschirrspülmaschinen der eingangs genannten Art sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. Sie verfügen über einen Spülraum zur Aufnahme von zu reinigendem Spülgut. Der Spülraum wird von einem Spülbehälter bereitgestellt, der über eine Spülraumzugangsöffnung verfügt. Im bestimmungsgemäßen Betriebsfall ist diese Spülraumzugangsöffnung mittels einer Maschinentür fluiddicht verschließbar.Dishwashers of the type mentioned are known from the prior art. They have a washing room for receiving items to be cleaned. The washing compartment is provided by a washing compartment having a washing compartment access opening. In normal operation, this Spülraumzugangsöffnung is closed fluid-tight by means of a machine door.
Die Maschinentür ist verschwenkbar ausgebildet. Sie ist zu diesem Zweck an einem Ständer der Geschirrspülmaschine verschwenkbar angeordnet. Auch der Spülbehälter wird in der Regel von diesem Maschinenständer getragen.The machine door is designed to pivot. It is pivotally mounted for this purpose on a stand of the dishwasher. Also, the washing is usually carried by this machine stand.
Um einem Verwender der Geschirrspülmaschine ein Öffnen und ein Schließen der Maschinentür zu erleichtern, ist es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, zwischen dem Maschinenständer und der Maschinentür eine Zugfeder vorzusehen. Sinn und Zweck dieser Zugfeder ist es im Besonderen, einen Schließvorgang der Maschinentür durch Krafteinleitung zu unterstützen, ein ungebremstes Herunterfallen der Maschinentür beim Öffnungsvorgang zu vermeiden sowie die Maschinentür unter einem bestimmten Öffnungswinkel in Ruheposition zu halten.In order to facilitate a user of the dishwasher opening and closing the machine door, it is known from the prior art to provide a tension spring between the machine stand and the machine door. The purpose of this spring is in particular to support a closing operation of the machine door by force, to prevent an unchecked fall of the machine door during the opening process and to keep the machine door at a certain opening angle in rest position.
Um diese Funktion der Zugfeder zu gewährleisten, ist es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, eine Federzugverstellung vorzusehen, mittels welcher eine Federzuglast individuell eingestellt und gegebenenfalls auch nachjustiert werden kann.To ensure this function of the tension spring, it is known from the prior art to provide a Federzugverstellung, by means of which a spring tension can be adjusted individually and optionally also readjusted.
Obgleich sich die aus dem Stand der Technik vorbekannten Einrichtungen zur Federzugverstellung im alltäglichen Praxiseinsatz bewährt haben, besteht Verbesserungsbedarf, insbesondere mit Blick auf eine verbesserte Handhabung. Es ist deshalb die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Geschirrspülmaschine der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiter zu entwickeln, dass eine individuelle Verstellung der zwischen Maschinentür und Maschinenständer vorgesehenen Zugfeder in vereinfachter Weise vorgenommen werden kann.Although the previously known from the prior art devices for Federzugverstellung have proven in everyday practical use, there is room for improvement, especially with regard to improved handling. It is therefore an object of the invention to further develop a dishwasher of the type mentioned in that an individual adjustment of the provided between the machine door and machine stand tension spring can be made in a simplified manner.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, dass die Zugfeder maschinenständerseitig von einem Verstellschlitten gehalten ist, der in Höhenrichtung des Maschinenständers verschieblich an diesem angeordnet ist.To solve this problem, it is proposed with the invention that the tension spring is held on the machine frame side by an adjusting slide, which is arranged in the height direction of the machine stand displaceable on this.
Aus dem Stand der Technik vorbekannte Federzugverstellungen ermöglichen einen frontseitigen Zugriff. Maschinenständerseitig ist die Zugfeder zu diesem Zweck an ein Seil gekoppelt, das oberseitig des Spülbehälters für einen frontseitigen Zugriff umgelenkt ist. In der Praxis hat diese Konstruktion immer wieder zu Problemen bis hin zu einem völligen Versagen geführt. Insbesondere die Umlenkung des maschinenständerseitig mit der Zugfeder gekoppelten Seils hat sich als Fehlerquelle herausgestellt, nicht zuletzt auch wegen der im bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendungsfall der Geschirrspülmaschine auftretenden thermischen Belastung aufgrund eines aufgeheizten Spülbehälters. Zudem hat sich diese vorbekannte Konstruktion sowohl in der Herstellung als auch in der Montage als kostenaufwendig herausgestellt.Previously known Federzugverstellungen allow front access. Machine stand side, the tension spring is coupled for this purpose to a rope which is deflected on the upper side of the washing container for a front access. In practice, this construction has repeatedly led to problems up to a complete failure. In particular, the deflection of the machine frame side coupled to the mainspring rope has been found to be a source of error, not least because of the thermal load occurring in the intended use of the dishwasher due to a heated rinse tank. In addition, this prior art design has proven to be costly both in the production and in the assembly.
Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung sieht indes im Unterschied zum vorbeschriebenen Stand der Technik eine Zugfeder vor, die maschinenständerseitig von einem Verstellschlitten gehalten ist. Dieser Verstellschlitten ist am Maschinenständer angeordnet, und zwar in Höhenrichtung verschieblich. Eine Federzugverstellung ist somit in einfacher Weise dadurch möglich, dass der Verstellschlitten in seiner relativen Höhenausrichtung zum Maschinenständer verschoben wird.The embodiment according to the invention, however, provides, in contrast to the above-described prior art, a tension spring which is held on the machine frame side by an adjusting slide. This adjustment slide is arranged on the machine stand, in the height direction displaceable. A Federzugverstellung is thus possible in a simple manner that the Verstellschlitten is moved in its relative height alignment to the machine stand.
Die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion erweist sich in ihrem Aufbau als sehr einfach, womit sie kostengünstig sowohl in der Herstellung als auch der Montage ist. Auf eine spülraumseitige Umlenkung eines Seils ist mit der erfindungsgemäßen Konstruktion vollends verzichtet, womit die dem Stand der Technik in nachteiliger Weise anhaftende Störanfälligkeit beseitigt ist. Insgesamt wird mit der erfindungsgemäßen Konstruktion eine einfache zu handhabende, weniger störanfällige und darüber hinaus preisgünstigere Federzugverstelleinrichtung vorgeschlagen.The construction according to the invention proves to be very simple in construction, with which it is cost-effective both in the production and the assembly. On a scavenging-side deflection of a rope is completely dispensed with the construction according to the invention, whereby the disadvantage of the prior art adhering susceptibility is eliminated. Overall, a simple to handle, less susceptible to interference and also cheaper Federzugverstelleinrichtung proposed with the construction of the invention.
Der Verstellschlitten ist gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung in einem vom Maschinenständer bereitgestellten Führungsschlitz verschieblich gelagert. Im endmontierten Zustand nimmt der Führungsschlitz den Verstellschlitten auf und sichert diesen. Bei einer Verstellbewegung des Verstellschlittens zum Zwecke der Federzugeinstellung wird der Verstellschlitten vom Führungsschlitz geführt.The adjustment slide is displaceably mounted in a guide slot provided by the machine stand according to a further feature of the invention. In the final assembled state, the guide slot receives the adjustment slide and secures it. When adjusting the Verstellschlittens for the purpose of Federzugeinstellung the adjustment slide is guided by the guide slot.
Der Führungsschlitz weist gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung einen Bereich mit einer Schlitzerweiterung auf. Dabei dient der Bereich der Schlitzerweiterung dem Zweck einer vereinfachten Montage beziehungsweise Demontage des Verstellschlittens. Mittels der Schlitzerweiterung kann der Verstellschlitten auf einfache Weise in den Führungsschlitz eingefädelt werden.The guide slot has, according to a further feature of the invention, an area with a slot enlargement. The area of the slot extension serves the purpose Purpose of a simplified assembly or disassembly of Verstellschlittens. By means of the Schlitzerweiterung the adjusting slide can be easily threaded into the guide slot.
Der Verstellschlitten ist gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung in seiner relativen Lage gegenüber dem Maschinenständer festlegbar. Auf diese Weise wird eine kraftübertragende Verbindung zwischen dem Verstellschlitten und dem Maschinenständer in der gewünschten relativen Lage des Verstellschlittens gegenüber dem Maschinenständer festgelegt. Dabei bestimmt sich die gewünschte relative Lage des Verstellschlittens gegenüber dem Maschinenständer nach der gewünschten Federvorspannung der mit dem Verstellschlitten gekoppelten Zugfeder.The adjustment slide is according to a further feature of the invention in its relative position relative to the machine stand fixed. In this way, a force-transmitting connection between the adjustment slide and the machine frame is set in the desired relative position of the adjustment slide relative to the machine frame. The desired relative position of the adjusting slide relative to the machine frame is determined by the desired spring preload of the tension spring coupled to the adjusting slide.
Zum Zwecke der Festlegung des Verstellschlittens relativ gegenüber dem Maschinenständer kommt eine Verstellschraube zum Einsatz, die mit dem Verstellschlitten zusammenwirkt, und die sich gegenüber einem vom Maschinenständer bereitgestellten Widerlager abstützt. Bei dem Widerlager kann es sich in einfacher Weise um eine mit einem Langloch oder Bohrung ausgebildeten Platte handeln, wobei die auch als Feststellschraube zu bezeichnende Verstellschraube im montierten Zustand durch die Bohrung geführt ist (in der Geschirrspüler- Seitenwand) und sich mit ihrem Schraubenkopf am Widerlager abstützt.For the purpose of determining the adjustment slide relative to the machine frame, an adjusting screw is used, which cooperates with the Verstellschlitten, and which is supported against a provided by the machine stand abutment. The abutment can be a plate formed with a long hole or a hole in a simple manner, the adjusting screw, which can also be referred to as a set screw, being guided through the bore in the assembled state (in the dishwasher side wall) and with its screw head on the abutment supported.
Der Verstellschlitten trägt gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung eine Gewindeplatte. Diese Gewindeplatte verfügt über eine Gewindebohrung, in die die Feststellschraube im montierten Endzustand mit ihrem Gewinde eingreift. Im Zuge einer Verstellbewegung kann über die Feststellschraube die Gewindeplatte des Verstellschlittens und damit auch der Verstellschlitten in Richtung auf das vom Maschinenständer bereitgestellte Widerlager geführt beziehungsweise von diesem wegbewegt werden. Auf diese Weise wird die relative Lage des Verstellschlittens relativ gegenüber dem Maschinenständer eingestellt.The adjustment slide carries according to a further feature of the invention, a threaded plate. This threaded plate has a threaded hole, in which the locking screw engages in the assembled final state with its thread. In the course of an adjustment movement, the threaded plate of the adjustment slide and thus also the adjustment slide can be guided in the direction of the abutment provided by the machine stand or moved away from it via the set screw. In this way, the relative position of the Verstellschlittens is set relative to the machine frame.
Der Verstellschlitten, die davon getragene Gewindeplatte sowie die damit zusammenwirkende Verstellschraube - auch Feststellschraube genannt - bilden bevorzugterweise eine vormontierte Baueinheit. Dies vereinfacht die Montage beziehungsweise Demontage.The adjusting slide, the threaded plate carried therefrom and the adjusting screw cooperating therewith - also called a set screw - preferably form a preassembled structural unit. This simplifies assembly or disassembly.
Im endfertig montierten Zustand ist die Verstellschraube von oberhalb des Maschinenträgers zugänglich, was eine einfache Federzugverstellung gestattet.In the final assembled state, the adjusting screw is accessible from above the machine carrier, which allows a simple Federzugverstellung.

Der Verstellschlitten 17 wird im endmontierten Zustand von einer Verstellschraube 20 getragen, die sich ihrerseits gegenüber einem vom Maschinenständer 2 bereitgestellten Widerlager 15 abstützt.The
Zur Verbindung des Verstellschlittens 17 mit der Verstellschraube 20 ist eine vom Verstellschlitten 17 gehaltene Gewindeplatte 25 vorgesehen. Dieser Sachzusammenhang ergibt sich insbesondere aus den
Die Gewindeplatte 25 ist mit einer Gewindebohrung ausgerüstet. In diese Gewindebohrung greift im endmontierten Zustand der Gewindeschaft 21 der Verstellschraube 20 ein. Anderendseitig wird der Gewindeschaft 21 der Verstellschraube 20 in eine als Langloch ausgebildete einseitig offene Bohrung 16 des Widerlagers 15 eingefädelt, gegenüber welchem sich die Verstellschraube 20 mit ihrem Schraubenkopf 22 im endmontierten Zustand abstützt.The threaded
Das derart ausgebildete Langloch 16 im Widerlager 15 ermöglicht es, dass eine, vorzugsweise vormontierte, Baueinheit, umfassend Verstellschlitten 17, Verstellschraube 20 und Gewindeplatte 25, durch eine leichte Drehbewegung in das Langloch 16 und durch Einfädeln in die Schlitzerweiterung 14 schnell und einfach montiert und demontiert werden kann.

Die Verstellung der Zugfeder, das heißt die Federzugverstellung dient insbesondere dazu, bei einer Erstausrüstung eine individuelle Einstellung hinsichtlich des tatsächlichen Türgewichtes vorzunehmen. Darüber hinaus können unter Umständen über die Lebensdauer der Geschirrspülmaschine nachlassende Federkräfte durch eine Nachjustage kompensiert werden.The adjustment of the tension spring, that is, the spring tension adjustment is used in particular to make an individual setting with respect to the actual door weight in a original equipment. In addition, under certain circumstances, over the life of the dishwasher declining spring forces can be compensated by a readjustment.
Insbesondere kann somit durch die Federzugverstellung ein selbständiges Verbleiben der Tür in einer bestimmten Position mit vorgegebenem bzw. vorgebbarem Öffnungswinkel, etwa mit einem Öffnungswinkel von 45°, leicht eingestellt und bedarfsweise nachträglich verändert werden. Das selbstständige Verbleiben der Tür in einer bestimmten, etwa 45°-Position stellt beispielsweise für das Befüllen des Regeneriersalzes in der Gerätetür eine erhebliche Erleichterung dar. Durch die mittels der erfindungsgemäßen Zugfederverstellung voreingestellte Zugfeder 7 schwenkt die Gerätetür 4 bei einem größeren als dem vorgegebenen Öffnungswinkel, also etwa bei einem Öffnungswinkel größer 45°, durch ihr Eigengewicht selbständig auf, bei einem kleinerem als dem vorgegebenen Öffnungswinkel, also etwa bei einem Öffnungswinkel kleiner 45°, klappt die Gerätetür aufgrund der vorgespannten Zugfeder selbständig zu.In particular, thus by the Federzugverstellung an independent remaining of the door in a certain position with a predetermined or predefinable opening angle, such as with an opening angle of 45 °, easily adjusted and, if necessary, be subsequently changed. The autonomous retention of the door in a certain, approximately 45 ° position, for example, for the filling of the regenerating in the door a considerable relief.
